Dears,
We are glad that you ARE THERE. We are glad that you don’t allow for this perfidious so called “march of silence”. We are as angry as You are. We are furious when the perpetrators of violence are trying to take over the language of survivors.
Silence is sometimes a powerful tool in the hands of people who don’t have a voice in the society. We have the right to this kind of protest as the excluded . We have the right to show our resentment and sorrow, in private and in public.
We know about people’s marches of silence against historical, institutional, other kinds of violence. Can we imagine perpetrators’ march of silence? If we would be outraged because of businessmen-exploiters’ march of silence, then as well we can be outraged because of the silence being in the name of keeping the state’s authority over pregnant people bodies.
It is NOT the case, where silence can show the sign that demands of a certain group are ignored; anti-choice propaganda, deep rooted in patriarchal authority, is heard all too loud!
It is NOT the case, where silence could express a mourning; here, the mourning is used in a perfidiously selective way; cause why fetuses are rued but life of pregnant people is not?
We are with You! Don’t let them appropriate the silence for which the anti-choice lobby doesn’t have any right. We shout with You! Please, shout also in our name because right now in Poland the parliament doesn’t care about most of the human rights, including reproductive rights!
We love You and we are wishing You love, power and good luck today, and for §218 – its deserved place in the dustbin of history.
